Thank you everyone for your help, I posted about Johnny Cat's plight on another message board that I'm usually on (not pet related) and everyone was so touched by his story that they have started a donation fund to help his angel pay for the vet expenses.
She'll be here tomorrow at 6:30 after work to pick him up. She's making a 2 hour trip to come get him. I love the power of the internet! |

OMG,what a relief,thank you
Whatever happens to him,he will be cared fornot if he is too sick,at least he will not die a lonely agonizing death in the wild. He clearly must have had a home at one time,maybe he is someones lost kitty,not a dumped kitty It must be a huge relief for you too,good job Sonic

Has there been any news? Did the lady pick up this poor soul and get him to a vet? Any updates would be appreciated.

Hello all, this is my first post on this board. I really hope everything works out for Johnny Boy! As an owner of 3 cats and an avid animal lover, I looked at those pictures and my heart broke. :sad:
Please keep us updated on his story, and thank you for being so loving to him! The world needs more angels like you!! |

A real miracle has happened to Johnny Cat. The people over on my other message board have raised almost $400 to put towards his care and vet bills. His angel came and picked him up Friday evening. He took to her instantly. He wasn't nervous about going into the car at all, it's as if he knew that only good things were ahead for him.
Here is some updates so far from his angel: Quote:

Wow, this is so awesome. I love it when people come together and make the effort to save another soul. Puts a smile on my heart. Keep the updates coming!

sonicsink, I was just wondering, because of all his wounds; is there some way the vet can check for rabies? I hope he doesn't have it, but you don't know if he has an up to date rabies shot, so I was just wondering with all the wounds he has.
I am so glad you rescued him and the people on the other forum got together to help this sweet boy! And thank your angel friend for me for taking him in. It just breaks my heart when animals are hurt. Debbie

Quote:
If the bites get harder or there seems to be more aggression behind them (tail is thrashing, ears are back, paws/claws latch on to your hand or arm), then the key is to stop petting before it gets to that stage. Watch for signals of over-stimulation, like the twitching tail, rippling skin, maybe the pupils dilate or eyes go wide. Stop all touching of the cat as soon as you see the signs and wait for him to calm down a bit. Some cats have a quirk where they can't help themselves, they just go a bit squirrelly from physical touch, like maybe they're too sensitive. It's probably best not to place cats like that in a family with children. But I'm not sure that's the case with this orange guy. Little love bites like what cats give each other during prolonged grooming sessions are nothing to worry about and are not signs of aggression, just bliss.

Omg,thank you both for giving this boy a chance,hopefully there is no serious medical issues
It makes me feel really good seeing his pic,knowing someone stepped up and cares for him Thank you very much!! As for the biting,my Chico does that,does not bite down hard,but still,I quit cuddling him when that happens. It could with Johnny be that you might have touched a sore spot.

I just finished reading all the posts and boy did the first pictures of Johnny bring me to tears. God knows what happened to this poor boy. My heart just bleeds for him.
Bless you and thank you so much sonicsink for opening up your heart to help this poor soul and a big thank you to all his Guardian Angels who helped with the finances for the vet. It's people like you and Johnny's Angel that puts my faith back in humanity. I pray that all his tests come out negative and that he has a full and speedy recovery from all his wounds. I have a cat who also nips when he is over-stimulated, but I know now which signs to look for and when they do, I stop petting him and just walk away. |

sonicsink, Thanks so very much for getting such fabulous help for Johnny. You're an and the person who picked him up and took him to the vet. I'm glad he's getting neutered as that's what got him into all his scraps in the first place. He sounds like a very sweet boy and will make someone a lovely pet. I wouldn't worry about his biting. He's probably still sore and hurting from all that's been done to him. As others have said watch for signs that he's getting overstimulated, and if he does nip you make a sound of a cat or kitten that got bitten. Some cats don't realize how hard they're biting unless you make a sound. Rather than Johnny O'Malley, I think his name should be Lucky Johnny. Had you not managed to get him into the carrier , he surely would've got a terrible infection and died from it. Good job!

Sonic, I'm just a few minutes west of you and we have had trouble with fishers, foxes, and racoons. Especially this time of year, they will try to kill almost anything to feed their own babies. Our Miss Mitten who was dumped here 4 years ago, will play out back during the day but we bring her in every day at 5 pm for dinner and a safe night indoors.
Of course today is crappy rain and guess who is sleeping upside down on my bed? Many of these dumped cats regain their trust in people and make great pets. Best wishes to Johnny cat. So handsome.

These are the latest Johnny Cat pictures. He's doing really well, everyone who meets him falls in love with him, he is so loving to everyone. The only thing left to fix now are his stinky poops :P
Starting to look like his old self again: Too busy weaving around legs to get a good shot of him: Last edited by sonicsink; June 14th, 2009 at 11:10 AM. |

Johnny looks fantastic compared to how he looked after his dreadful fight. That wasn't his only fight, judging by the notches in his ears. No wonder he's so loving, now that he's all fixed up, has a comfortable life and loving home. Good work!

I agree,he's one lucky kitty,to have met a couple of's

Just bumping this up to let everyone know that Johnny Cat is ready to go up for adoption. He is being fostered in Ottawa, but I'm pretty sure that his Angel will be willing to travel a bit to meet his new family half way (depending how far you are).
If you are interested, please email me at: sonicsink@yahoo.com and I'll pass your details along |
